Celebrities really are like us, because as it turns out none is "perfect." Not one. But one way they're different than us: they embrace what makes them unique and so have won our hearts. The more different, the less generic, the better. Take that as a lesson the next time you look in the mirror and decide one of your less common physical traits seems like a flaw rather than an asset. And refer back to this article because I'm about to drop some knowledge on you that will prove the things we don't appreciate are just waiting to be embraced not only by ourselves, but others, too. Show it off and be proud just like these women have.
